Can someone explain why the following code is generating the following results?

A - {member_id}
{exp:channel:entries entry_id="49"}
B - {member_id}
{/exp:channel:entries}

A - 26
B - 1

It looks like EE is treating {member_id} like {author_id} once it’s inside the Channel Entries tag.  How can we avoid this??  Is this a bug?  I thought {member_id} was a global variable.  Help is appreciated, we are on a very tight deadline.

EDIT:

NEVER MIND.  I found {logged_in_member_id}.

Hey upshot -

You got it, the channel entries tag does have a context. Glad you found the solution!

For others, here is the user guide info on {logged_in_member_id}
